2. General Notes
----------------
Unlock the power of your new Miranda NG with plugins! There are hundreds
of plugins available for free bundled with original Miranda NG distribution.


3. Troubleshooting
------------------
If you have problems with Miranda:

a) Disable all plugins. If the problem is gone now, it was probably a
   bug in one of the plugins and not in Miranda NG itself.
b) Update to the latest alpha version.
   We regularly fix bugs in Miranda NG. If you are having a problem it
   might help to upgrade to the latest alpha version, maybe we already
   fixed it. You will find the "Nightly alpha builds" in the "Development"
   section of our website.
c) Check the list of known bugs.
   The official buglist is available at:
   http://trac.miranda-ng.org/report
   Look here before you submit a new report, dont submit a new report if
   it has already been reported.
d) Submit a bugreport.


4. Compatibility issues
-----------------------
Miranda NG doesn't support any of Windows 9x. Miranda NG only 
supports Windows 2000 and later. Beta versions are not supported.

b) Plugins
 - Third party plugins may have different requirements than
   Miranda NG itself. The Miranda NG developers cannot guarantee
   that all plugins will work on your system.
